Bentley MicroStation is a highly optimized 2D and 3D CAD and information-modeling program used by architects and engineers around the world. This course will get you up and running quickly, so you can complete simple 2D drawing projects, edit graphics, reference title blocks, and generate a plot of the final results with MicroStation.

Jeanne Aarhus begins with a tour of the interface and an introduction to the "language" of MicroStation. She then shows how to manipulate geometry, use the alignment and selection tools, work with levels and cells, and annotate and print drawings. The course features both architectural and civil examples, so you'll get a good understanding of MicroStation's many applications: in architecture, engineering, construction, utility systems, roads and rail, communications networks, water and wastewater networks, process plants, mining, and more.

Topics include:

Navigating the interface efficiently

Understanding MicroStation file management

Generating basic 2D geometry

Manipulating 2D geometry

Drawing with AccuDraw and AccuSnap

Using standard levels and cell symbols

Setting up reference files

Adding text and dimensions

Printing the final drawing file

- [Voiceover] Hi, I am Jeanne Aarhus.Let me welcome you to the Up and Runningwith Bentley MicroStation.MicroStation is one of the leading CAD software applicationsavailable today.This course will introduce you, the new user,to the MicroStation 2D environment and get you startedusing V8i the right way.The techniques learned in this course will workwith any version of MicroStation V8, XM or V8i.There may be some variances in interface and tool locations.I will show you how to complete a simple 2D drawing projectfrom inception to completion and I will demonstratehow to use MicroStation toolsusing the most efficient procedures and shortcuts.

Put your existing drafting skills to usein this new environment.We will create, modify and annotate 2D graphics.Generate a final production drawing and plot it to PDF,resulting in a final construction documentusing MicroStation.With all that being said, I'm really excited to show youhow easily you can become a productive MicroStation user.
